Brewster effect has attracted extensive interests through microwave to optical regime. However, previous work mainly focused on the cases with single linear polarization. We demonstrate in this paper an equal Brewster's angle for both TE (transverse-electric) and TM (transverse-magnetic) waves. Tunable Brewster effect is furthermore achieved. For practical implementation of this effect, we propose an anisotropic metagrating composed of modified split ring resonators (MSRR) as a proof-of-concept in X-band. Measurement results of the manufactured prototypes validate our method. The proposed metagrating featuring Brewster's angle manipulation potentially paves the way for many applications throughout the spectrum, e.g., angular selectivity.
布鲁斯特效应在从微波到光频的波段都引起了广泛关注。然而,以往的工作主要集中在单一线性偏振的情况。我们在本文中证明了TE(横电)波和TM(横磁)波具有相等的布鲁斯特角。此外,还实现了可调谐的布鲁斯特效应。为了实际实现这种效应,我们提出了一种由改进型裂环谐振器(MSRR)组成的各向异性超光栅,作为X波段的概念验证。所制造原型的测量结果验证了我们的方法。所提出的具有布鲁斯特角操纵功能的超光栅有望为全频谱的许多应用铺平道路,例如角度选择性应用。
